Answer:
Absolute value is the distance on a number line. In other words, a number with absolute value will always be positive.
For 11a its 2:10 because how you would come up with it is by placing pablos free minutes first and then putting pablos paid minutes and 11b is8:25 because once again you would place sams free minutes first and then his paid minutes
7/12 of 1 hour:
1 hour = 60 min.
7/12 * 60
7 * 5 = 35
Francis ran 2 1/2 miles in 35 min.
2 1/2 = 5/2
5/2 miles = 35 min
x miles = 60 min
(Cross Multiply)
5/2 * 60 = 35x
5 * 30 = 35x
150 / 35 = x
x = 30 / 7 = 4 2/7 miles
Francis ran 4 2/7 miles in one hour.
